Haley Defeats Trump in Pitkin County GOP Primary

In an unexpected turn of events, Pitkin County voters diverged from national GOP trends during Super Tuesday’s primary, favoring former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley over Donald Trump.

According to unofficial and incomplete results released by election officials, Haley secured 1,084 votes, or 58.6%, out of a total of 1,851 ballots cast in the Republican primary. Meanwhile, Trump received 708 votes, representing 38.3% of the Pitkin County vote.

On the Democratic side, President Biden dominated, garnering 2,056 out of 2,345 votes cast by county voters, accounting for 87.7% of the total.

Despite these results, Pitkin County’s preference for Haley contradicted the national trend seen on Super Tuesday, where Trump overwhelmingly won the GOP primaries in most states, claiming victory in 12 out of 13 contests. Haley managed to secure a win only in Vermont.

In Colorado, Trump maintained a strong lead with 63.3% of the vote compared to Haley’s 33.4%, with 82% of precincts reporting as of midday Wednesday. However, following Super Tuesday, Haley suspended her campaign. In contrast, Biden emerged victorious in all 14 states where a Democratic primary was held on Tuesday.

In the lead-up to Super Tuesday, the national party primaries were largely viewed as a formality, given the significant leads enjoyed by both Biden and Trump in polls. As a result, the November election is widely anticipated to be a rematch between the current president and the former president.
